God, this stuff scares me so much. I’m getting married this year and would love to have a baby within the next two years. There’s just so much that can go wrong during a pregnancy and birth. My hope is that I’ll be informed enough to the point where I can know if something is amiss, but not be so bogged down in scary…

Start with Couch to 5K!

Glossier is overhyped and overpriced. I got suckered by their minimalist packaging and their cult-following on r/makeupaddiction and /rskincareaddiction. The milky jelly cleanser makes my face break out, their concealer hardly concealed a thing and I just wasn’t wowed. I splurged and decided to do the route of Drunk…

My parents are nearly 60 and healthy, but I cried reading this too. I’m an only child and I really worry about how things are going to go. My mom JUST lost her mother, and lost her Dad a few years ago when I was in college. My other grandparents are still alive and pretty healthy. I’m going to be a fucking wreck…

I just made a salad last night with that base dressing (only with chives and Sriracha added in to the dressing) - and on top of my greens I added roasted baby potatoes and roasted red onion, and some crumbled bacon. Damn good. I have it for leftovers for the rest of the week now!

Been looking into that. It’s sad that I need to re-teach myself how to eat. But there it is.

Lost 20 on Weight Watchers probably 4 years ago now, before they updated and then updated and then updated, again, their program. My greatest beef with it right now is... why keep changing the system? Why assign arbitrary points numbers to some foods one year - and then change it the next? It’s confusing and doesn’t…

Loved “Hang the DJ.” It was surprisingly moving and poignant to me.

For upping my water intake (which is one of my 2018 goals), I got the Hidrate Spark. I purchased one for myself, my Mom (for Christmas) and my fiance (intended for his birthday). Fiance doesn’t seem enthused on the idea so I now have two bottles. They glow to remind you to drink, and they glow when you meet your goal.

If I think about my 401K as it stands right now, I’m doing fairly well. As for my actual money hanging out in my checking and savings? Doesn’t necessarily come close to my “salary,” especially not BEFORE taxes. But I am saving for a variety of things and feel good about that for now. I could beat myself up more over…

High. :-D

LOL your ‘yearly income’ by age 30? Is that a joke?

hear hear!

Louis Tomlinson deserves the world. I actually am a big fan of “Miss You” but could do without “Just Hold On” from him, despite it being a song enmeshed in sadness and grief for him.

Totally!

I wasn’t able to get the hype for this story. I read it, I didn’t feel wildly moved, it wasn’t something I felt I could 1,000% relate to like all the other women I know who read it. I’ve had shitty college boy experiences. I don’t know. What did I miss here?

Ummmm I may make this for Christmas morning brunch. I needed something new to make this year, and this might be perfect. I fucking love Monte Cristos. I know they aren’t everyone’s favorite but I think they’re glorious.

Who the fuck are these people?

Ahem. Hi, Paul Ryan. I’m an almost-3o-year-old woman who’s getting married next year. I’d love to have kids but right now, it’s not financially feasible. Between my fiance and I, I don’t see how it’d be possible to do this right now. With no good maternity leave policies in place (or paternity for that matter), no…

thank you thank you thank you from a white woman who would’ve voted for jones had i lived in alabama. holy shit, those stats. what is wrong with people? who could ever vote for a CHILD MOLESTER?
